Ruddy's
1930's General Store Museum
As you pass through the entrance, you are
suddenly transported back in time to the 1930's and
early 1040's. The museum is an authentic, lovingly
re-created general store of that period. In 1983 Jim
Ruddy integrated his extensive 35 year collection of
general store merchandise with a museum that he
purchased in the Mid-West. The museum had been the
collection of a Depression-Era liquidator who had kept
his pick of the finest store fixtures and merchandise in
his basement for 40 years. The result is one of the
largest complete displays of unused general store
merchandise in the country.
